Bernie Sanders: To our establishment friends in the Democratic Party

[sheshe2]

75. Interesting response to me.

Well, I guess I'm not cut out to be a "team player"

Never have been. I do not do as the MAGAts who go along with whatever their leader decrees.

I stated in my post that I am a Democrat and I always vote for Democrats. Yet here you are comparing me to a MAGAt voter that just goes along with whatever Dear Leader decrees? What is wrong with you and why the attack on me?

I agree with the liberal points in the post I referenced. I'll support any candidate who fights for that. I want it to be the Democratic party and it should be the Democratic Party, but not all of the candidates with D after their name will stand up for those issues. That's why I called it shameful. An "I" has to stand up for what "D"s should already be doing.

I could never vote for Bernie with an I after his name because I do not live in Vermont and theirfore not my Senator, not my state and I am not eligible to vote there.

When Bernie runs for President HE CHANGES his party affiliation to D. He RUNS as a Democrat.

This from 2024:

Bernie Sanders filed Monday to be a candidate for the Senate in 2024 — as an independent.

But last month, Sanders filed as a Democrat for president.

But with Sanders, it creates the odd situation of having a high-profile presidential candidate file to run for two different offices with different parties, just as the Democratic Party is adopting rules mandating presidential candidates take something of a loyalty pledge.

Also, I feel like I would be a hypocrite to mock the way rightwingers fall in line to support what they're told, then follow establishment Democratic leadership when it continuously drifts more and more to the right of the liberal policies I believe in.

So what you are saying to us, and accusing me of is walking lockstep with that dreadful word ya all love to toss out "Establishment" Democratic leadership.

I brought up Manchin/Sinema as the perfect example of Democrats who worked to actively undermine the good things Joe Biden tried to accomplish, yet were defended here simply because they had a "D" after their names. At least for a while, anyway. Yet Bernie Sanders is constantly attacked, despite living up to liberal Democratic policy and working toward that goal.

No one here likes Manchin or Sinema and you can now add Fetterman to that list as well. Never trusted him and I do remember many here were all for the man.
